NPAN Condemns Proposed Nigerian Wiretap Law
The Newspaper
Proprietors’ Association of Nigeria (NPAN) has condemned the alleged move by
the Federal government to empower security agents to intercept and record
electronic communications between individuals and track data use from internet
service providers and mobile networks.
In a communiqué
issued at Abuja by the association at the end of its Executive Council meeting,
the body described the move as a violation of the constitutional guarantee of
free speech and an invitation to arbitrariness.
It urged the Federal
Government to withdraw the bill in line with its constitutional obligation to
protect the rights and liberties of the citizens.
